Staff Pick : Quick,accurate cross referenced help from a bonafide HyperCard Guru. This stack is great! (And the ASCII chart alone is worth the price of admission, in addition to being 'darn cute.')
The HyperTalk QuickRef stack provides syntax and a quick description for each HyperTalk 2.3 command, function, property, message, and keyword. The stack is smaller on screen than the Apple help and it operates considerably faster, so it's handy to leave it in a corner of the screen while you're scripting.
If you need more information, you can go from any card in the stack straight to Apple's HyperTalk Reference stack. The QuickRef is also completely cross-referenced; click to go to any related HyperTalk element. You can print a cheat-sheet of syntax, install a quickRef handler to let you instantly access the QuickRef stack from any other stack, and use the interactive ASCII chart (which is darn cute, if I do say so myself).
(The information in this stack is distilled from *HyperTalk 2.2: The Book* by Dan Winkler, Scot Kamins, and Jeanne DeVoto, with additional information for 2.3.)
